USA: White House Snubs Musk Offer to Pay TSA Staff Over Ethics Rules | WION
The White House has rejected Elon Musk’s offer to pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers during the ongoing government shutdown, citing legal and ethical concerns. Officials said federal rules bar private individuals from directly paying government employees, with compensation strictly governed by congressional appropriations. The administration also flagged Musk’s existing government contracts as a potential conflict, adding that such an arrangement would pose significant legal challenges. The decision comes as thousands of TSA workers continue to work without full pay amid the funding impasse, raising concerns over airport disruptions and staffing shortages.
